Lightning Talks

The purpose of a Lightning Talk is two-fold: 1) expose everyone at the meeting to as many ideas and new research as possible, and 2) give attendees a chance to note which posters/presenters they would like to follow up with later.

What is a Lightning Talk?These are 1 minute - 1 slide mini-presentations about your poster. You will have only enough time to distil your research into its very essence and point out a major finding that is enticing for others to learn more. We recommend that you check out this nice essay with advice on this type of presentation.

Logistics for the Lightning TalksAll slides will be compiled into a single presentation that will automatically advance to the next speaker’s slide at the end of the allotted time. A single PowerPoint slide (standard dimensions of 4:3) must be sent to Kristan Uhlenbrock by January 28 (kuhlenbrock@uclivar.org). No not include any animations or special features in the slide. Label your slide as the following: Lastname-Firstname-Arctic.

Online Poster Gallery

All poster presentations will be offered the opportunity to showcase their poster in an online gallery. Once we have the majority of posters uploaded (in a PDF format), we will create a "Poster Gallery" that will look similar to a recent workshop (see here). Posters should be uploaded online at least one week prior to the start of the workshop--deadline is January 25, 2017. This will give attendees the opportunity to view your poster in advance, which will: a) help with the workshop discussions and b) allow people more time to view posters and be prepared with questions during the actual poster events. Details about how to upload will be sent in an email to confirmed poster presenters.
